The Wealthy Eldest Sister Rules Supreme - Chapter 655

Chapter 655: Chapter 642: Master Zhuang

“Are you picking all these peach blossoms as a birthday gift for your mother?”

“Yes.” The two little ones nodded heavily.

“My sister and I just picked them. We’re about to give them to our mother.” Chu Zimo said.

“That works out well. I also specially prepared a birthday gift for sister-in-law. I was just about to deliver it. Let’s go together.” Chu Jinzhou said as he walked on, carrying Chu Siyu and holding Chu Zimo’s hand.

The people behind hurriedly followed with the gift box.

Inside the courtyard where Zhuang Qingning and Chu Jinnian lived, they saw Zhuang Qingsui sitting in the courtyard sipping tea.

“Sister Sui.” Chu Jinzhou’s eyes lit up, he walked over quickly and said with a smile, “I knew you would come today.”

“Brother Jinzhou is back too.” Zhuang Qingsui, who was only a year younger than Chu Jinzhou and already a large maiden who had passed the Jijili ceremony, stood over Chu Jinzhou’s shoulder, she squinted, “You’re here to congratulate my sister, aren’t you?”

“Yes, I rushed back as soon as I counted the days.” Chu Jinzhou chuckled and looked around. “Why is only Sister Sui sitting here drinking tea? Where are older brother and sister-in-law?”

Until then, everything was fine but everything fell apart at the mention of this. Zhuang Qingsui sighed helplessly, “Can you guess what gift my brother-in-law would give my sister on such a big day?”

“Ah?”

Chu Jinzhou’s face suddenly changed. “It can’t be, that these two have gone off enjoying themselves and are shying away?”

“Why such a surprise? This isn’t their first time.” Zhuang Qingsui calmly sipped her tea.

“That’s true …”

Chu Jinzhou helplessly scratched his ear.

In advance, during the Dragon Boat Festival, the couple sneakily went out for a holiday. Even earlier, during Lantern Festival, they went to the temple fair without inviting them…

Indeed, this wasn’t the first time. They were seasoned offenders.

“But what about these two little…” Chu Jinzhou saw Chu Siyu, whose large eyes were staring at him intensively, and Chu Zimo standing underneath, he rubbed his forehead helplessly.

Chu Jinnian and Zhuang Qingning were sure that they two would come back today, so they safely left home with the twins.

“Come Siyu, let auntie hold you.” Zhuang Qingsui stretched her hands and took Chu Siyu from Chu Jinzhou, pinching her little nose and also Chu Zimo’s cheek, “If auntie accompanies both of you to play, is that all right?”

“Okay.” A simultaneous nod from the two little ones, but their eyes rested on Chu Jinzhou for a long while.

They also want Chu Jinzhou to stay and play with them.

“You two.” Zhuang Qingsui said agitatedly, “Your Uncle will also play with you both.”

“Okay!” The two little ones responded decisively as before, but the tone of their voices raised higher than when they answered Zhuang Qingsui and sweetness was also added.

Alas, as expected Chu Jinzhou was the children’s favorite.

Zhuang Qingsui suddenly felt a little defeated.

But then Chu Jinzhou, still laughing, ordered the servants to open the box he brought, and take out the things inside so everyone could see.

Colored glaze mirror, Western clock, shiny stones, and some incredibly ancient-looking antiques…

Chu Zimo and Chu Siyu were excited. They were curious about everything, picking it all up to touch and feel.

“Uncle, what is this?” Chu Zimo held a long object in his hand, asking Chu Jinzhou.

“This is called clairvoyance.” Chu Jinzhou held it, lengthening the tube somewhat, adjusted the distance and held it up to his eye, “Can see things very far away, you want to try?”

“Let me see.” Upon hearing he could see things far away, Chu Zimo eagerly tried adjusting it, holding the object to achieve clairvoyance to the sky, sure enough he saw birds thrashing their wings that originally seemed like tiny beans.

“This indeed is pure clairvoyance.” Chu Zimo was very excited, called people around to bring a stool, wanting to see to even further places.

“You first try, when you get used to it, I will take you to the city wall to have a look, standing higher, you can see farther.”

Chu Jinzhou smiled and looked down to see Chu Siyu playing with the shiny stones and seashells.

“If you like these, next time Uncle will bring back a piece of coral for you.” Chu Jinzhou touched Chu Siyu’s round head, “Later, you can put it in your room as an ornament.”

“Thank you, Uncle.” Chu Siyu laughed heartily.

Certainly Chu Jinzhou is better at dealing with children than she is.

Zhuang Qingsui reluctantly drank her tea and sighed again.

“Here, this is for you.” Chu Jinzhou took out a purse from his bosom and handed it to Zhuang Qingsui.

“What is it?” Zhuang Qingsui opened to see, from the purse, she took out an oval, wax yellow, translucent, and as hard as stone.

Inside the oval, there were several flowers the size of grains of rice, looking very realistic.

“Is this…amber?”

“Yes, it’s amber.” Chu Jinzhou nodded, “I got it by chance, although amber is not unique or precious. But what is peculiar is the flowers inside. So, I figured it would be a good gift for you.”

“Thank you Brother Jinzhou.” Zhuang Qingsui played with the piece of amber, thanking Chu Jinzhou repeatedly.

“What are you politely thanking me for? I’m glad you like it.” Chu Jinzhou sat down and said, “I heard from older brother and sister-in-law that you’re preparing to leave the academy, is that right?”

“Yes, I’ve already discussed with the lady and the teacher of the academy, I will no longer study there after the end of this year.” Zhuang Qingsui said, “I intend to open a school in the town, especially for young girls to study.”

“Although they say women with no talent is a virtue, to women, studying is a must. Studying makes you understand etiquette, and it makes you wise. Especially when women have to bear the responsibility of teaching their children in the future, if a woman can understand the truth, her children will naturally be educated to understand matters and know when to advance or retreat.”

“So, my school may not necessarily require students to study to attain a name or do research. The most important thing is to learn the principles from books and understand the norms of life.”

“What Sister Sui said makes sense.” Chu Jinzhou nodded in agreement. “After the school is opened, I won’t be able to call you Sister Sui. I have to address you as Master Zhuang.”

“Brother Jinzhou is making fun of me again.” Zhuang Qingsui laughed, “But come to think of it, Brother Jinzhou has been outside for three or four years. I’m afraid all the mountains and rivers have been visited by you. Returning this time, will Brother Jinzhou be going out again?”
